Streeting Tried To Bury This - Palantir Was Waiting In The Bill

Wes Streeting tried to leave Health boasting about delivery; his final act shows exactly who he was delivering the NHS to. Right, so Wes Streeting has resigned as Health Secretary claiming he delivered for the NHS, and his final act in the job is now being described by campaigners as the moment patient records were pushed towards Palantir without any meaningful consent. That is quite the exit package. Not a rebuilt health service, not a workforce settled, not emergency care fixed, not a public NHS protected from the companies circling it, but a Health Bill that creates the machinery for a compulsory Single Patient Record while Palantir is already embedded in the NHS data system sitting underneath it. Streeting wanted to walk out of the Department of Health as the man who proved he could deliver, polish the resignation letter, point at a falling waiting list, and then present himself to Labour MPs as the grown-up in the room. Instead, one of Labour’s own left-wing health affiliates, privacy campaigners, and NHS GP and campaigner Dr Neena Jha amongst others have shoved the record back in his face. Jha’s reaction was not gentle professional unease; it was alarm from inside the system, saying Streeting had signed off patient records to Palantir without knowledge or consent. She wrote on X that: ‘As his final act, Wes Streeting just signed off ALL OUR PATIENT RECORDS to Palantir WITHOUT our knowledge or consent & then resigned. “Your medical notes, prescriptions & DNA will be used however a politician decides; you’ll have no say & no choice” TO PALANTIR!!!’ The public stake is not Westminster gossip, not leadership positioning, not the usual Labour court intrigue where the same five courtiers pretend the furniture moving around counts as democracy.
